Glycine Combat SubvsThorn 1950s Tribute Collection

Owners widely praise the Glycine Men's Combat Sub 40mm Quartz Watch GL1062 for its quality and value, describing it as a great grab-and-go daily watch with good finishing and a comfortable bracelet. Reviewers highlight its sleek, thin profile, noting its 10.8mm height and downward-curving lugs contribute to comfortable wearability, even on smaller wrists. The watch features a sapphire crystal and a solid link bracelet with a milled diver's extension. One owner reported their Ronda 515 quartz movement was accurate, while another found the bezel arrived dinged and detached after a light impact. Some owners dislike the Mercedes hands. On balance, owners rate the Glycine Men's Combat Sub 40mm Quartz Watch GL1062 highly for its comfortable wearability and excellent value.

Owners widely praise the Thorn 38mm Automatic Watch 1950s Tribute Collection T026 for its compact 38mm size and domed sapphire crystal. The bracelet is considered good for the price, with one owner stating it is even better than a Sub's. However, the bezel insert is not aligned properly, and some suggest dressier alternatives for formal occasions. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Thorn 38mm Automatic Watch 1950s Tribute Collection T026 well for its retro design and wearability at its price point, despite minor alignment issues.
